Product Information

Full details

The Cost Wise Swan Neck IBC Tank Riser Kit is designed for gardeners, allotment holders, and site managers who need a more convenient way to fill watering cans, buckets, and jerry cans from an IBC tank. Its primary benefit is raising the tank's tap by approximately 30cm, creating essential clearance for containers, even when the tank is directly on the ground. A potential consideration is that it requires an IBC tank with a 2" S60 x 6 coarse thread outlet for compatibility. This kit offers a durable, polyethylene solution for easier and cleaner water dispensing.

FAQs

What size thread does this riser kit fit?

The riser kit is designed to fit IBC tanks with a 2" S60 x 6 coarse thread outlet.

How much does this riser kit raise the tap?

The riser kit raises the tap approximately 30cm (about 1 foot) above the IBC tank's outlet.

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?

No, the kit is designed for simple, secure installation and does not require specialist tools. Hand-tightening and basic tools might be needed depending on the tap chosen.

What is the riser made of?

The riser pipe is manufactured from thick, rigid polyethylene, making it strong and durable for outdoor use.

Can I buy the kit without a tap?

Yes, an option is available to purchase the kit without a tap if you already have one or prefer to use your own.

What is included in the kit?

The kit typically includes MDPE fittings, a tank adaptor, a tap (depending on selection), and PTFE thread seal tape for installation.

Is this suitable for high-pressure systems?

This riser kit is designed for gravity-fed systems from IBC tanks and is not intended for use with high-pressure water systems.

Troubleshooting

Riser does not fit the IBC tank outlet.

Verify that your IBC tank has a 2" S60 x 6 coarse thread outlet. This riser is not compatible with other thread sizes or types.

Tap is leaking at the connection point.

Ensure PTFE thread seal tape has been adequately applied to the tap's threads. Tighten the tap further into the adaptor if possible, or reapply tape and re-tighten.

Low water flow from the tap.

Check that the main IBC valve is fully open. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the riser pipe or tap outlet. Clean any debris from the tap mechanism.

Difficulty attaching the tank adaptor.

Ensure the threads on both the adaptor and the IBC outlet are clean and free from debris. Align the threads carefully before attempting to screw the adaptor on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This riser kit is designed exclusively for IBC tanks that have a 2" S60 x 6 coarse thread outlet. Please verify your IBC tank's outlet thread size before purchasing.

Setup:

  1. Ensure the IBC tank is empty and stable.
  2. Attach the tank adaptor to the IBC tank's outlet, ensuring the coarse thread is correctly aligned.
  3. Apply PTFE thread seal tape to the threads of the tap (if not pre-assembled).
  4. Screw the tap securely into the tank adaptor.
  5. If using the included swan neck riser pipe, connect it to the tap outlet and then attach your hose or fill point to the other end of the riser.
  6. Once connected, slowly open the IBC valve and check all connections for leaks.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect all connections for tightness and signs of wear.
  • Clean the exterior of the riser and tap with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • During freezing conditions, it is advisable to drain the riser and tap to prevent damage from ice expansion.
